πŸŒ™ Last night on the Independence

πŸŒ™ Last night on the Independence

πŸŒ™ Last night on the Independence out of Point Loma Sportfishing in San Diego, while chasing bluefin tuna near Tanner Bank, this beauty came up on the rail and the crew immediately yelled β€œMONCHONG!”

It sure looks like a Pacific Pomfret (or one of the monchong species in the same family). Same deep body, same metallic colors, same firm delicious flesh. Maybe the crew was right all along!

What do you guys think β€” monchong or Pacific pomfret? Drop your thoughts and fish IDs below πŸ‘‡

Huge thanks to Captain Brian Pifer and the entire Independence crew for another epic night on the water.
